Lyrics & Translation

[English] The beautiful Formosa, the sea breeze gently blows
Kites resisting the wind and sand, unwilling to let go is attachment
Colorful Hakka tung flowers fall like rain
Drinking a cup of hometown Lei tea, I recall the local dialect

Hot air balloons rise in Pingxi, promising not to part
The Songjiang battle at the temple fair, reviving our long-lost joy
Saltwater firecrackers burst straight ahead, let's be brave together
The eight chars shake with traditional power
On the road of travel, some things we’ll take our time to tell
There’s a passionate place called Taiwan
Indigenous songs echo loudly along the East Coast
Millet wine sweet aroma, tasting it at the harvest festival

The Pacific stretches endlessly, a deep blue blanket
Salty winds on Orchid Island, home to flying fish’s deepest affection
From snowy peaks to the plains of Lanyang
Gama Lan stories winding through green rice fields
Watching the sunrise from Yushan, Matsu casting her first light
At Love River wharf, we promised to watch the sunset together
Sipping sweet bubble tea in my hand
Night market chaos reminds us of home
On the road of travel, some things we’ll take our time to tell
There’s a passionate place called Taiwan
Gezaixi actors perform live, reenacting history
Puppet shows taking us back to childhood days
On the road of travel, some things we’ll take our time to tell
There’s a passionate place called Taiwan
We slow down our steps, chatting along the way
Your luggage packed with dreams of distant lands

On the road of travel, some things we’ll take our time to tell
There’s a passionate place called Taiwan
With longing, I cherish your image
Wave goodbye and wish you a safe journey

(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
